We are excited to announce the launch of a brand new cookbook for people living with HIV/AIDS by Boston Living Center Nutritional Services Manager, Amanda Stegmann and Dietic Intern, Beth Kitzis: “Recipes for a Positive Life: At-home cooking designed for better living with HIV,” available now on Amazon!

A few months ago, Victory Programs’ Special Events Manager Shauna Helton received a call from her friend Ana. Ana’s daughter, Elisa, was distraught about the homeless people she saw while she was traveling abroad; particularly the women and children. Upon returning to Boston, Elisa let her mother know that she wanted to help vulnerable families in any way she could. Ana, knowing Shauna worked in the non-profit sector, turned to her for guidance and learned about Victory Programs’ ReVision Family Home.

This was just the opportunity Elisa was looking for! On Sunday, October 1, Elisa and her friend Gaby set up a table at the Celebrate Milton event. The girls made bracelets, signage and solicited donations raising nearly $240 for the mothers and children at ReVision!

We were so inspired by Elisa, Gaby and their generosity we had to share their story. Thank you so much for your support!

Once again our friends at the Art Connection have worked with local artists to find colorful pieces to adorn the walls of one of our recovery homes! Victory House is a residential recovery program for men and our very first program, having opened its doors back in 1975. The halls and common areas look much cozier with these amazing paintings up on the wall for residents, staff and visitors to enjoy!

Victory Programs’ Boston Living Center (BLC) is raising money for MBTA cards to support transportation costs for BLC members traveling to the Center to participate in Ready, Steady, Go, a five week program that covers how to address challenges specific to people living with HIV/AIDS.
